Letter To Mason City Council in Support of Sanctuary City for the Unborn Ordinance

To each of the Mason Council Members & Leadership,

I wanted to thank you, applaud you for the decision that was made last October to make the City of Mason a Sanctuary City for the Unborn. I know that it was a controversial ordinance in some people's eyes - but it was a right one. I am thankful for you and all those that are willing to make right decisions though facing criticism from a “loud” but “small” crowd that looks to make it a “human right” to abort a human child.

The Bible teaches that the “powers that be are ordained of God” (Romans 13:1) which you are for the City of Mason. God has allowed you to have that important position, USE IT WELL! You have within your power to wield for the defenseless or yield to the selfish. It is your responsibility to do what is right - and you should do it no matter the criticism or the cost because that is the oath you took. Right is always right, truth is always truth, and there is nothing more precious than the sanctity and protection of every human life.

Right does not become wrong because of financial loss - Right is still right.
Right does not become wrong because of overwhelming criticism - Right is still right.
Right does not become wrong because of public/majority/minority opinion - It is still right!

God’s blessing and approval is far more important for the City of Mason than anything else. Proverbs 14:34 says:

"Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people."

I’m praying for you this evening - I support you along with my members that are Mason residents to make the decision to protect the unborn in your jurisdiction.

Sincerely and Prayerfully,

Pressing On!

Pastor Mark Sage

ADVERSITIES & CHURCH

After my devotions each morning I try to work on my memory verses. Today, in succession, two verses came up that relate a great and important truth that a spoke to me. The two verses were: Psalm 122:1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. & Proverbs 24:10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. Adversity, in a simplified definition, means "trouble." Certainly no one looks for trouble. Sickness, accidents, mishaps, and the resulting distress happen in everyone's lives and are often unforeseen. They can at times be daunting. God teaches us not to faint in the face of adversity; not to stop doing what we are supposed to and performing our vows and service to God, family, and community. I think that we have expanded our definition of adversity in our generation to include words like "tiredness" and even "opportunity." We usually aren't dealing with troubles as much as distractions a...

THE GREATEST NEED IN 2024!

Often, I hear complaints about what is going on in the world today and in churches. People have become disillusioned with society and even with church. They are mad at their government, upset with society with its wicked pop-culture, critical of churches, and always blame someone else for whatever woes have come there way. We blame politicians for their corruption, the government for deceiving us, the schools for brainwashing the children, the church for not being exciting enough or having enough ministries and the pastor for not being deep enough/hard enough/soft enough/or inspiring enough or whatever criticism we have. Then everyone seems to have a “disease,” a trauma, or a disability, giving themselves an excuse for what they do or why they allow sin in their own life. As bad as all these things are, they are going to continue. The world will still be wicked and hate God as the Bible says. When the world speaks well o...

BE BOLD FOR THE TRUTH! - Like John the Baptist

Don’t back off what you know to be true. The Bible is real, it is God's Word to man. We need to hold to what it says with conviction. John the Baptist did. It landed him in prison - just that one statement – “It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.” (Mark 6:18) But, he didn’t sway from it, he did not apologize for it! He stuck with the truth. A couple of men that I never personally followed but was also not against who years ago made a bold statement to America which I "AMENED" at the time: Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson both publicly stated boldly that 9/11 was a wake-up call to the American Christian; that it was the God’s lifting of his hand of protection and then a very short time later, both took back their comments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMkBgA9_oQ4 https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=126698&page=1 No, they were right, God did allow it - God certainly lifted His protective hand on our nation. Sure, it was a wicked act of lost hell bound...
